I need to ask, did anyone REALLY expect us to be absolutely terrible? We've seen these same guys (and some worse) rank as high as 2nd in defense, recently too.
I'm an optimistic guy, but I expect them to be near lights-out for the rest of the year and I never doubted their abilities for a second.
It has only been one game, but I expect a top 15 year (ranks-wise) for our D.

I didn't expect us to be terrible. But to be honest I expected more growing pains. Now I'm anxious to see the defense take the field. It's been quite some time since I've said that.
Now I'm not thinking all 85 Bears crazy, but I think this D will jump up many spots this season.
